Dear Readers,

September 2026 saw a setback in the price of gold. According to U.S. Funds, gold fell by 6.3 percent over the course of the month, while the U.S. Dollar Index rose by more than 2 percent. On September 16, the Federal Reserve raised its benchmark interest rate by 25 basis points to 3.75 to 4.00 percent. The picture for the third quarter as a whole is more favorable: According to U.S. Funds, the NYSE Arca Gold Miners Index posted a total return of 17.4 percent, outperforming all S&P 500 sectors.

The demand base also remained supportive. The World Gold Council reported global net central bank purchases of 23 metric tons for July, including 20 metric tons in China and 8 metric tons in Poland. The figures are based on reports available through July 31, 2026.

Banyan Gold: Financing and Nitra Drilling

Banyan Gold Corp. – https://www.commodity-tv.com/ondemand/companies/profil/banyan-gold-corp/ – announced on September 29, 2026, the completion of a financing round with gross proceeds of approximately 54.3 million CAD. According to the company, the funds will be used to finance the AurMac and Nitra projects in the Yukon, as well as working capital.

According to the company, the AurMac and Nitra land package covers approximately 830 km². The 2026 Nitra program is focused on eleven regional targets. For the Seattle Creek Zone, Banyan reported, among other things, 4.04 g/t gold over 1.4 m, including 5.70 g/t gold and 544 g/t silver over 0.5 m. At the time of the announcement, however, only the top 95 m of a 600-meter-long drill hole had been analyzed.

For AurMac, Banyan has scheduled a Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA) for the fourth quarter of 2026, according to its own plans.

Fury Gold: Eau Claire Ahead of the PFS Phase

Fury Gold Mines – https://www.commodity-tv.com/ondemand/companies/profil/fury-gold-mines-ltd/ – has a Québec portfolio of approximately 157,000 hectares, according to its quarterly report. The former Dolly Varden holding was exchanged for Contango shares as part of the merger completed on March 26, 2026. Fury currently holds 1,815,754 Contango shares, representing approximately 5.8 percent.

On August 25, Fury reported, among other results from the Eau-Claire program, 14.41 g/t gold over 3.92 m in drill hole 26EC-125. According to the company, Phase 2 drilling will cover 15,000 to 25,000 m, and management is working toward a pre-feasibility study (PFS) in 2027. The company’s presentation as of September 8, 2026, also lists CAD 6.3 million in cash and cash equivalents and CAD 53.9 million in marketable securities.

Conclusion: Gold Stocks Face New Proofs of Concept

The quarterly data show relative strength in mining stocks. For Banyan, the verifiable catalysts lie in financing, the Nitra drill program, and the planned AurMac PEA. For Fury, the focus is on further Eau-Claire results and the planned PFS phase.

Good luck and warm regards from Switzerland,
